An awesome bassist for the pop-punk band Green Day. Had the bassline for their best song, "Longview", while on acid. Who else can do that?

Tre has fans because he's funny. Billie has fans because... I guess they think he's pretty hot. Not enough word is said about Mike though. He's an amazing bassist, though. He used to play the Gibson G3 bass but Tre Cool broke it by accident.

He even has his own bass: The Fender Mike Dirnt Precision and the Squier Mike Dirnt P Bass. If you want to play one though you should go with the Fender (not the Squier!)

Teenybopper: OMG LAWL GREEN DAY!!! THEY'RE SO HAWWT
Me: Agreed. Especially Mike. Tre's pretty cool too.
Teenybopper: Um. WTF are you talking about you silly duck! I'm a punx princess and listened to all the albums: from American idiot to 21st century breakdown and theres no song called "Mike" LAWL
Me: Mike... Is the bassist...
Teenybopper: OMG SUPER BASS *starts singing that shitty song* BTW a bass is just a shitty guitar. MIKE MUST BE THE WORST MEMBER OF THE BAND NO DOUBT
Me: *smacks that bitch across her fucking Prosthetic Head*

“I have a daughter and she's the greatest thing that ever happened to me. She gives me a good excuse to watch cartoons.”
“It's the end of the day, I've got my chinese chicken salad, Mike's a happy boy.”
“Stop throwing shit or I'll jump in there and beat your ass.”

Born Michael Richard Pritchard he is(And still) the original bassist of the Cali-native band Green Day. He and Billie Joe Armstrong have been friends since they were 10 and started Sweet Children before progressing to Green Day.
